i have a yorkie who has terrible teeth he is only 2, he has had his teeth cleaned 2x already, he has kcs, and also sjogrens, he doesnt make tears in his eyes or saliva properly. i took him to the doggy dentist last week at the univ of pennsylvania, on the advice of our regular vet he suggested biotene vetrinarian, they have a oral gel, a water additive, and a rinse, i use all 3 and brush 2x a day, i also had his teeth sealed with oravet i bought the oravet sealer kit i do at home once a week. Coopers teeth look better than they have, i have tried petzlife and plaque off and i didnt see a great difference, I also give cooper cet chews, greenies, himilayan chews, flossies, bullie sticks, and anything else that merrick sells as a chewy. Cooper doesnt mind his teeth cleaned and loves the cet toothpaste, but hates the huge brushes the toothbrushes are all huge for him, cooper is almost 4 pounds, I found the colgate wisps that are disposable they come with a little pearl of paste you use and toss, i have found that if i remove the pearl and wash it off, its a great size toothbrush for cooper, and not hard at all, and he lets me brush without a problem.
